2025 Fantasy Outlook
Vesia has maintained a fairly static pitch mix in recent years without much fluctuation in usage of his fastball (63 percent usage), slider (32 percent) and changeup (five percent, exclusive to right-handed batters). While he lost a tick of velocity on his four-seamer (93.4 mph average velocity) and slider (85 mph), opposing hitters struggled to square up against these offerings. Vesia permitted a mere .106 BA and .136 SLG on his slider, which produced a 40 percent whiff rate. Overall, strikeouts were well above average at 33.1 percent (95th percentile) while walks remained an issue. Vesia had one of the highest discrepancies (-1.69) between ERA (1.76) and FIP (3.45) thanks to an extremely low BABIP (.195) and 64.7 fly ball percentage that was highest among relief pitchers. He can still be effective, however, as he enters his age-29 season as the Dodgers' top (non-closer) lefty out of the bullpen. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $2.25 million contract with the Dodgers in January of 2025. The deal includes a $3.55 million club option or $50,000 buyout for 2026.
Takes blown save
Vesia allowed one run on one hit and three walks over two-thirds of an inning, taking a blown save in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Angels.
Analysis
Vesia has hit the skids at the worst possible time with both Tanner Scott (elbow) and Kirby Yates (back) on the injured list. Over his last three outings, Vesia has allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits and four walks, taking two blown saves and two losses in that span. Prior to the slump, he had given up just one run over his previous 15 innings. Vesia hasn't converted a save since July 29 in Cincinnati and is ceding some closing duties to Blake Treinen and Ben Casparius, who are also struggling. Overall, Vesia still looks like the Dodgers' best healthy reliever, though he's now at a 2.76 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 66:17 K:BB through 49 innings while adding four saves and 20 holds.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
2021
Vesia struggled on the surface in 2023 in large part due to .354 BABIP and 72.6 percent strand rate. However, he still managed a 21.7 K-BB% and should be in for a bounceback campaign in a potential high-leverage role out of the Dodgers' bullpen in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Rediscovers dominant fastball
Vesia has given up just six hits in 62 at-bats against his four-seam fastball this season.
Analysis
The left-hander tallied a save and 16 holds with a 2.15 ERA in 2022, but he was less reliable in 2023 with a 4.35 ERA and 1.39 WHIP. Opposing batters hit .273 against Vesia's fastball last season, but he's been dominant with the pitch early in 2024. Evan Phillips remains locked in as the Dodgers' closer, but Vesia should continue to fill a high-leverage role and has two saves and four holds this year.
